Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 153 



number of small clusters of hairs on the outer margin. There is 

 also a larger and longer cluster of hairs on the outer distal angle. 



The sixth abdominal segment has a pair of lateral denticles and 

 another pair beneath and a pair of angular teeth at the base of the 

 telson. The uropods have broad ovate lamellae, nearly equal in 

 length and breadth; the outer one has a prominent sutural tooth 

 and an acute articulated spine (pi. 46, fig. ij). 



The telson (fig. ik) is narrow, regularly tapered to a narrow 

 tip, which ends in a minute papilla ; otherwise the whole tip is 

 occupied by six slender spines. The median pair are very slender 

 and about half as long as the next pair, which are much stouter ; 

 outer pair short. There are two pairs of dorsal spines, but both 

 are close to the margins ; the distal pair are not far from the end 

 and appear like marginal spines. When partly dry a slender 

 median carina is visible. Length of the largest specimen from 

 Bermuda, 22 mm ; breadth, 6 mm. 



The unsymmetrical development of the antennal scales, chelae, 

 etc., is a notable feature. In life the color is white, crossed by 

 ten or more conspicuous, narrow, orange bands, some of which 

 are incomplete. The bands are formed of small, close specks of 

 orange; on the sides of the carapace are six to eight oblique 

 divergent lines of the same color, one of which begins on each side 

 of the base of the rostrum ; three radiate from the orbits of the 

 eyes ; one is nearly transverse ; there is also a spot on the cardiac 

 region. Antennae and antennules orange; legs are banded with 

 orange. 



The colors are distinct in some specimens nineteen years after 

 preservation in alcohol. 



This rare and curious species was taken April 5, 1901, at Hungry 

 Bay, by A. H. Verrill, who made a colored sketch of it from life. 

 One carried eggs. It was also in the earlier collections of Mr. 

 Goode and J. M. Jones. Cuba (Guerin). St. Thomas, Porto 

 Rico (Rathbun). Gulf of Mexico, 26 to 27 fathoms (Rathbun) ; 

 Bermudas (G. B. Goode, coll.) ; Port Jackson, Australia (Stimp- 

 son) ; Mauritius (Richters) ; Tahiti (Ortmann). 



Hay and Shore (op. cit., p. 395, pi. 28, fig. i, 1918) have 

 described another species as G. modestum (Hay, 1917). from off 

 Beaufort, N. C. It differs from the above, among other ways, in 

 lacking the color bands. Its body was brownish red; frontal 

 organs, uropods and telson, white.
